Chapter 283: The Dawn of a New Tactic

Look at the Fuyuan musket made by the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, although this thing is still a smoothbore gun, but in terms of technical level, it can actually fully meet the mass production of rear-loading rifles.

It is precisely because of this that Aoyama Machinery Factory was able to process and rifle the Fuyuan musket by purchasing advanced equipment to get the Mini rifle out.

Otherwise, Lin Ziran is also a clever woman who has no rice, and it is useless to know that the rear-loading rifle is useless, because it can't be made at all.

However, at present, Daheng's industrial technology level has initially met the needs of manufacturing rear-loading rifles.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Aoyama Machinery Factory to come up with any rear-loading rifles.

After all, they only purchase equipment from outside for production and processing, and they do not have the ability to research and produce these advanced equipment.

As soon as he arrived at Qingshan Machinery Factory, Lin Ziran was too lazy to be polite with Boss Wang, and went directly to the laboratory to see the modified sample gun they had just made.

When he saw these sample guns on the table, he picked them up and looked at them briefly, this thing is no different from the original Fuyuan musket, especially this gun still has the inscription of the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory on it.

However, the second half has an additional side-opening loading locking structure for reloading, and other details are also different.

Except for the larger caliber of this thing, other aspects are already quite perfect in Lin Ziran's opinion.

After a brief look, Lin Ziran said, "Have you tested it?" ”

Boss Wang said: "There have been several tests before, but the formal test has not yet been conducted,!" ”

Lin Ziran said: "Then what are you waiting for, take it out and give it a try!" ”

Lin Ziran was already a little impatient to see the live firing of this modified rear-loading rifle!

Although many people in this world could anticipate the importance of a rear-loading rifle that can be reloaded.

But absolutely no one knows better than Lin Ziran how huge the tactical changes brought about by the rear-loading rifle are!

This is a weapon capable of changing the mode of war!

As long as the test later confirms that this weapon can be used in actual combat, even if there are some flaws, Lin Ziran still dares to completely throw the line tactics into the garbage heap, and then play the skirmish tactics.

You can't play the line tactics against other feudal towns, but you can play the skirmish tactics based on the breech-loading rifle!

Hum!

Lao Tzu doesn't play you to death!

It was not only Lin Ziran who was excited, but Wu Guanlin, who came with him, was also very excited!

Last year, after he learned what kind of breech-loading rifle the Aoyama Machinery Factory was working on, he realized that the breech-loading rifle was the most suitable weapon for his new light infantry tactics.

Because the rapid-fire is high enough and the range is long enough, and at the same time, you don't have to reload while standing, you can reload completely on your stomach.

In this way, his new light infantry tactics can perfectly exert their maximum combat effectiveness.

For this reason, since last year, he has been studying new light infantry tactics in more depth, from individual soldier training to squad tactics, company platoon and even battalion tactics, to new infantry and artillery coordination, and so on.

He has spent a lot of effort on research!

It can be said that although the rear-loading rifle has not yet been developed, Wu Guanlin has already mastered the system of new light infantry tactics, and he is already testing it in the army.

Each infantry battalion of the Sixth Division has a light infantry company, and although this light infantry company is still equipped with Mini rifles, many of the tactics used in training are actually new-type light infantry tactics developed by Wu Guanlin.

And his new type of light infantry tactics, in Lin Ziran's view, are no different from the straggler tactics of the era of rear loading guns on the earth.

Otherwise, Lin Ziran would not have always supported Wu Guanlin in developing this new type of light infantry tactics, and even set up a light infantry company in the army to practice this light infantry tactics in advance.

It is precisely because Lin Ziran knows that this is the future.

Now, it seems like it's time for the harvest!

The next test made Lin Ziran look with a smile on his face!

From the beginning of the soldier loading to test the new rifle, to the first shot, the smile on Lin Ziran's face did not stop!

Because when this soldier was tested, he shot on his stomach!

This is very important, extremely important!

Because it is possible to reload and shoot on your stomach, this is the basis of tactical change.

When the soldiers in front continued to test, Ding Quankun also explained to Lin Ziran: "This rear-loading rifle, based on the Fuyuan musket modification, caliber 18 mm, in order to be able to tail loading, we used the design of the side-opening clamshell, and at the same time to the greatest extent to follow the original bolt structure, such a design is relatively simple and reliable, and the cost of modification is relatively low, the initial estimate of the cost of modification can be controlled at about ten constant yuan each, and later after the efficiency of our modification production line is improved, This cost can be further reduced. ”

"In terms of rate of fire, in the hands of skilled soldiers, this modified rifle can reach a rate of fire of ten rounds per minute, which is more than three times higher than the previous front-loading rifle."

"It is extremely convenient to reload at the same time, you can reload and shoot in a variety of postures such as kneeling and lying down!"

"Because of the use of metal fixed ammunition, the air leakage problem has been completely solved!"

"However, because of the extremely fast rate of fire, the bullet consumption of this rear-loading musket is expected to be very large, and if brass bullets are used, the cost of use will be more expensive!"

"Because many engineers are worried that the cost of brass cartridge shell all-metal cartridge cartridge will be relatively high, and the early production will be relatively low, so they also proposed a simplified and low-cost bullet design scheme, using metal bottom paper cartridge cart

"Although this kind of bullet with metal bottom paper cartridge is not as good as metal bullet in terms of breath-holding, it is cheaper to build and easier to produce!"

"At the same time, in the previous test test, this kind of metal-bottomed paper shell bullet, although there are still certain defects in breath-holding, but because our bolt design is very reliable, in the previous 500 rounds of live ammunition test, there was no air leakage accident, but compared with all-metal bullets, there is a certain gap in muzzle kinetic energy and accuracy."

"The kinetic energy affects the maximum range of this paper-shelled metal fixed ammunition, but we do not expect the actual impact to be too large, because even if the muzzle kinetic energy is slightly insufficient, it can still easily reach an effective range of more than 500 meters."

"In terms of accuracy, at a range of 400 meters to 500 meters, the hitting accuracy of the all-metal bullet with a metal bottom in a paper shell is only about 70 percent of that of the all-metal fixed bullet!"

"At a distance between 300 meters and 400 meters, there is only about 80 percent of the accuracy of hitting!"

"Although there is still a gap in the accuracy of hitting within 300 meters, the impact is not big!"
